Thanks for resurrecting this lovely thread. I am also a huge nature lover. Just this morning, I saw a grouse which danced for at least 10 minutes in front of me, I think it was protecting its nest which must have been nearby.

Has anyone here heard of the Aokigahara forest in Japan ? What it's known for is considered morbid by most, but I'm hoping that people here, who are more enlightened and hence more open minded, are able to appreciate a place like it.

Everything about Aokigahara intrigues me - its physical anomalies (light, sound, magnetism), its history, its topography, and of course, also the reason for its notoriety.
